THE 17th ANNUAL
A Softball Tournament, Festival, & (Fun)draiser in benefit of Opportunity Knocks! For 2024 we will be having a new venue as well as a new event site. Details below!
17th Annual OK Classic
Team registration will open at 7:00 pm on Monday, July 29th. Registration is limited and based on a first-come, first served format. Teams that raise $5,000 or more from the 2023 event guarantee a team reservation. Sponsors that commit at +$5K are also reserved a team slot.
Be sure to act fast as we had three teams who qualified for an automatic reservation leaving only 13 team slots left for general registration!
The team fee is $1500. Teams are NOT required to satisfy the fee at time of registration. Teams are afforded the option of raising funds via the peer-to-peer fundraising platform hosted on this site to meet the fee.
Traditionally, teams and players work together to reach out to friends and family to raise funds toward the overall team goal and the greater organizational goal of $85,000 for the event. Recently, we have seen teams exercise their creativity by reaching out to sponsors to help support team fundraising, host events and do all other sorts of things to reach the team fee. Got a new idea!? Run it by us and we’ll do what we can to support your efforts or collaborate.

2024 Updates & Changes
We were unable to host the event at our usual softball Mecca in Forest Park due to construction projects. One door closes and another one opens! This year’s event will be hosted on site in North Riverside at Veteran’s Park. Another of the great local venues for ball!
So fresh and so clean, clean! We are revamping the registration experience with OneCause’s Peer2Peer. Easier navigation, more customizable player pages, and so much more! Questions? Email our Development Coordinator Madelyn Wilson, madelyn.wilson@opportunityknocksnow.org
